Emirates Seating Guide

A380

First:
  1. Solo travelers: some say row 4 is loud from the galley behind, while row 1 may be a bit more cramped than other rows. Most suggest rows 2 or 3, seats A or K.
  2. Couple: E/F seats in rows 1-3 are all fairly similar.
Business:
  1. General: the mini cabin at the back has a more secluded feel, though some comment that there is noise from the bar beyond row 23.
  2. Solo travelers: most prefer seats A and K (solo seats on sides with windows).
  3. Couple: aim for seats E/F to be closer together.
Economy:
  1. General comments: upgrade if at all possible!

777

First:
  1. Solo travelers: Row 1, especially 1a and 1k, is the worst because of galley and lavatory right in front. Noisy and high traffic. Not much difference between row 1 and 2 in terms of space on the 77w for k or a seats.
  2. Couple: there is not really any difference between row 1 and 2 for e and f seats except 1 is near the galley and 2 is near row 6 in j where there may be children
Business:
  1. General: There is limited direct aisle access as the configuration is 2-3-2. The rear J cabin will have Y pax move through on boarding.
  2. Solo travelers:
  3. Couple: 7 j and k are great if you don't mind the missing window. It's in the private mini cabin - a great choice unless you like window gazing. You also don't get y traffic passing through this cabin as you turn left on entry!
Economy:
  1. General comments: Y on the 777 is for slim people.

Rows 17 and 26 are both rows with bassinets on the 777LRs, however are there any differences between them as seatguru has 17 as yellow (not that good) and 26 as green/yellow?

Thanks for making my day.
You might have trouble finding the worst seat as this board is dedicated to finding the best seats. So we tend not to notice the really bad ones. I would suggest somewhere near the toilets and as far away from J as possible as she might wander forward to " visit". You might warn the crew that she has a habit of wandering and is to be firmly returned to her seat.

Best suggestion is to leave her at home

I have read on here that 68a on the A380 Emirates is not guaranteed seating as it is an exit row seat, as is row seats 67b and 67c. Am I correct in assuming that 68b is not an exit seat, so if I were to select my seat after booking (I am a skywards member) I would be able to keep that seat? How much space is there in front of 68a/67b/67c as it is right near the galley and toilets? I personally am not bothered by the noise and passengers around this space. I feel more comfortable in 68b than 68a as I prefer a seat in front of me but I like being over the wing and being near the toilet so I see this as the best of both. Also, as it is near the galley, will we be served first or last as I can't remember if they go from front section towards the back and the next galley or start from the back of that section and work back up to the galley around row 66-67? Has anyone sat in 68b before? Thanks everyone

Also 67b and 67c do not recline is that correct?

26 is an exit row so more legroom but 17 is not.

On the 777-300's and 300ER's with the OLD ICE, be aware of the window seats A/K and middle seat F because of the IFE boxes. These seats should be fine on other aircraft though.

Yes.

Lots of space - as you say, it's at an exit door, and these are quite wide. There are toilets on the other side of the door, but no galley IIRC.

Incorrect, they have standard recline.

My mistake sorry the galley is between 51/52 and 79/80 ... inany case, do they serve from the back going forwards, or from the front going towards the back?

There are multiple sets of crews serving, each one servicing around 15-20 odd rows, starting from the front.

EK352 Emirates seats - suitable for sleep?

Apologies for starting a new thread. Being new to this site I would appreciate any advise you have

I will be travelling on flight EK352 DXB-SIN on Boeing 777-300.

Looking at services on this flight Emirates is advising Deeply reclining sleeperette seats in First and Business Class.....

Does this mean neither are lie flat? and apart from the width and pitch there is no difference in recline?

Is it worth the upgrade to first?

Many thanks

There are no 'Deeply Reclining' 777-300s, so the website is probably wrong.

From the sticky :-

B777-300, 3-class – 12 aircraft
SkyCruiser in F, Lie-flats in J, New Weber seats in Y, ICE
A6-EMM through A6-EMX
ExpertFlyer aircraft code: 773

So, no private suites in F, but the SkyCruisers are OK.
